German authorities charged two fugitives with 5,000 counts of murder for helping hijacker Mohamed Atta and other members of a terror cell plot strikes on U.S. landmarks.

Ramzi Binalshibh, a 29-year-old college dropout, shared a Hamburg apartment with Atta and traveled with him to Venice, Fla., to take flying lessons. He was last seen in the city in August, investigators said.

Authorities were already hunting for Said Bahaji, 26, an electronics student at Hamburg Technical University who also lived in the apartment – dubbed a “house of supporters” by cell members.

Bahaji fled Germany for Pakistan on Sept. 3, turning over legal control of his affairs to his wife’s stepfather “in case something should happen to me,” Germany’s chief prosecutor said.

Both men are wanted on charges of forming a terrorist organization two years ago and at least 5,000 counts of murder, officials said.

Atta and fellow kamikaze pilots Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah all studied in Hamburg, and the city has emerged as a major focus of the worldwide probe and hunt for collaborators.

The international probe also gained momentum in London, where an anti-terrorism squad arrested three men and a woman on charges stemming from the Sept. 11 attacks.

Two men and a woman, all in their 20s, were arrested at their homes in west London yesterday morning.

The fourth suspect was nabbed in Birmingham, 100 miles north of London.

The arrests came as war efforts intensified in America and Afghanistan.
